Ancient Godly Monarch

A period of time passed after the selection of the Holy Successor. Qin Wentian spent the majority of his time touring the Southern Phoenix Immortal City and this place truly has broadened his horizons.

However, what made Qin Wentian somewhat depressed was that Nanfeng Yunxi was still in the ancestral lands and had yet to exit. He really wanted to know where the location mentioned by the ancient phoenix was. That place was where the complete version of God’s Hand was hidden. Right now, he could already generate so much power from an entry-level version of God’s Hand. How much more tyrannical would his strength be if he managed to master the complete version?

Right now among the ancient majestic buildings in the Southern Phoenix Clan, Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Purgatory were walking a towards a certain courtyard. Not long after, they arrived at their destination and as they neared, the sounds of melodious zither music could be heard. When a female servant saw that Qin Wentian and his comrades arrived, she smiled and walked up, ”Miss has said that Sir Qin can enter directly once you arrived here. There’s no need for us to report your arrival.”

”Many thanks.” Qin Wentian smiled towards the serving girl. After that, he followed the sound of music and entered into the courtyard. He arrived at a location with fine scenery. A beautiful maiden so gorgeous as though she was a painting come to life, was sitting at a pavillion in the center of a lake, playing the zither. The melody of the zither was beautiful and so was her person. With this picturesque scenery, it would cause many to be so deeply immersed that they couldn’t extract themselves from it.

At this moment, the zither music stopped. Qin Wentian praised, ”Miss Shengge not only excels in painting, you have such high attainments in music as well.”

So it turned out that this woman was none other than the holy maiden Nanfeng Shengge. Back then after the competition between holy maidens concluded, many people didn’t stay to enjoy the banquet and departed immediately. As protectors, they failed to ensure that their holy maidens obtained the position of Holy Successor. As a result, they didn’t have the face to remain behind and weren’t willing to remain as guests in the Southern Phoenix Clan. Only Qin Wentian and his comrades were still here as Qin Wentian was waiting for Nanfeng Yunxi. When he was in the Southern Phoenix Clan, because Nanfeng Yunxi was still in seclusion, the one playing host to him was Nanfeng Shengge.

Nanfeng Shengge had a pure spirit and heart, was graceful and intelligent, highly educated and well-rounded in all aspects. She gave off a sense of amicability. However Qin Wentian didn’t spend his time staying inside the Southern Phoenix Clan, he only came back occasionally and spent most of his time roaming the city streets.

”All these are unorthodox things. Sir Qin praises me too much.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled.

”Although I only occasionally stayed inside the Southern Phoenix Clan, I can tell that Miss Shengge is not merely skilled in painting and the zither. Your singing and flute playing is excellent and extremely melodious as well. Even disregarding the martial path, Miss Shengge still can mesmerize many, causing people to be focused on you.” Qin Wentian sincerely praised. Being able to have such attainments in music was a testament of Nanfeng Shengge’s talent. Back then in the ancestral lands, only she could stand equally with Nanfeng Yunxi. If Kong Ye wasn’t defeated by him, it was unknown who the ultimate victor would be if it was a competition between Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Yunxi.

Nanfeng Shengge gave a graceful smile, ”Sir Qin is missing Yunxi again?”

”Miss Shengge stop teasing me.” Qin Wentian shrugged. ”Usually, how long would the Holy Successor stay in the ancestral lands for? It has already been a month.”

”Sir Qin truly fits the saying, ’Not meeting your loved one for a single night is equivalent to not meeting them for three autumns.’” Nanfeng Shengge gave a gentle laugh. ”However, to answer your question, she wouldn’t be in there for too long. Sir Qin would be able to meet with Yunxi soon enough.”

Nanfeng Shengge was actually thinking that since Qin Wentian was still sticking around in the Southern Phoenix Clan waiting for Nanfeng Yunxi, the two of them must have some feelings for each other. When Qin Wentian saw that smile which was not a smile on Nanfeng Shengge’s face, Qin Wentian hurriedly added, ”Miss Shengge, don’t overthink things, I truly have an important matter, this is why I’m waiting for Yunxi.”

”What am I thinking?” Nanfeng Shengge’s eyelashes fluttered. Qin Wentian speechlessly shook his head. Nanfeng Shengge was already a supreme beauty. That, adding to her being mischievous now, truly generated a killing power so great that almost no man could resist.

Staring at Qin Wentian’s speechless expression, Nanfeng Shengge smiled and continued, ”Honestly speaking, the holy maidens of my clan rarely venture out in the immortal realms. We spent most of our time in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City and hence, the geniuses we are acquainted with, are either from the Southern Phoenix Immortal City or from the City of Ancient Emperors. Yunxi and you got acquainted in the City of Ancient Emperors, right? If I was the one who got acquainted with you, would you have come here to be my protector?”

”Miss Shengge is elegant and beautiful. If we were acquainted earlier, I naturally wouldn’t reject.” Qin Wentian smiled.

”In that case, I would have to thank you then.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled. It was like she was extremely satisfied with Qin Wentian’s answer.

When Qin Wentian was conversing with Nanfeng Shengge, there were several silhouettes that arrived outside of the Southern Phoenix Clan. These people came from everywhere, and were separated into different factions. All of them walked towards the Southern Phoenix Clan with solemn expressions on their faces. It seemed like they had a matter of great importance.

Instantly, the guards of the Southern Phoenix Clan appeared, blocking these people.

”Who might all of you be?” One of the guards questioned. These people all exuded an extraordinary aura and didn’t seem to be ordinary characters.

”We are subordinates of the Violet Emperor and are here for a visit.” One of the factions replied, his words causing the eyes of those guards to flicker. The Violet Emperor was an extremely powerful immortal emperor. These people were actually from his sect.

”We are the subordinates of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and are here for a visit.” Another young man in the lead of one of the factions spoke. His eyes were sharp as he stared ahead, causing the guards to feel a little strange at this incident. Although the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wasn’t as famous as the Violet Emperor, he was still an immortal emperor character and had established the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, dominating a region in the immortal realms.

”We are the subordinates of the Xuan Emperor and are here for a visit.” Another spoke.

”We are the subordinates of the Xiao Emperor and are here to pay a visit as well.” The man leading the last faction spoke. The guards were all visibly astonished, these people before them were actually subordinates of four immortal emperors. This definitely wasn’t a small matter.

”Everyone please wait for a moment as I report this up.” A guard stated and after that, he turned and walked into the Southern Phoenix Clan. These people patiently waited, they weren’t in a hurry.

Not long after, a group of experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan came out, surveying the four factions of people. These experts from the immortal-emperor ranked powers weren’t considered very strong, and it’s evident they were not here to intentionally target the Southern Phoenix Clan. Naturally, if they really wanted to target the Southern Phoenix Clan, only the four immortal emperors being here personally would then suffice.

”We pay respects to the elders of the Southern Phoenix Clan.” The experts who just arrived bowed slightly to the elders of the Southern Phoenix Clan.

”All young heroes, please enter.” The experts of the Southern Phoenix Clan didn’t ask any more and directly invited them in. No matter what motives these people had, the Southern Phoenix Clan had to show them the courtesy of being the host regardless.

”Instruct people to prepare an immortal banquet.” One of the elders commanded as they led these people into the Southern Phoenix Clan.

Given how large a power the Southern Phoenix Clan was, they were also extremely efficient when it comes to doing things. They prepared an immortal banquet in record time and when everyone was seated, an elder of the Southern Phoenix Clan raised his wine cup to everyone and asked, ”I wonder what matter does the young heroes present have with our Southern Phoenix Clan?”

”Elder, can we know if Qin Wentian is currently in the Southern Phoenix Clan?” An expert from the Violet Emperor’s Sect asked. The eyes of those from the Southern Phoenix Clan flickered, they finally understood these people were here for Qin Wentian.

”I’m not very sure of his current location, but Sir Qin is a guest of my Southern Phoenix Clan. What matter do you have with him?” That elder asked again.

”Not hiding things from elder, Qin Wentian and us have a death grudge, we want to bring him back to our sect.” The people from the Violet Emperor’s Sect spoke. This caused the people from the Southern Phoenix Clan to frown, they stared at the other factions and asked, ”What about you guys?”

”Qin Wentian killed over several hundred of our Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s disciples. Our hatred for him is as deep as the oceans.”

”Qin Wentian killed my younger brother Xuan Xing.” Even Xuan Yang, the son of the Xuan Emperor, had personally arrived.

The voices rang out after one another, causing the brows of the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan to be even more tightly knitted. These people all arrived here at the same time, wanting to capture Qin Wentian. How could there be such a coincidental matter? The immortal realms were too vast, and it was impossible even for immortal emperors to know where Qin Wentian was located so clearly.

There was only one explanation. There must be someone who divulged Qin Wentian’s location to these people, spreading the news to all his enemies. Clearly, this person understood Qin Wentian very well.

The experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan instantly understood. The most probable suspect would be those who fought against Qin Wentian in the ancestral lands trials. It might be one of the holy maidens or it might be one of the protectors.

The eyes of everyone were on that elder of the Southern Phoenix Clan who spoke earlier. However right now, the eyes of this elder shifted to a servant as he asked, ”Is Qin Wentian currently still in our Southern Phoenix Clan?”

”He’s at Miss Shengge’s residence.” That person replied in a low voice.

”Go and invite Qin Wentian over.” That expert commanded. That servant instantly nodded and left to carry out the task. Not long after Qin Wentian, who was in the courtyard of Nanfeng Shengge’s residence, learned that the experts from the four immortal-ranked powers have arrived. His eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke in a low voice, ”Seems like those I’ve offended have all gathered here.”

”How truly despicable. Those guys can even think of such methods.” Jun Mengchen snorted in contempt.

Nanfeng Shengge was also frowning. ”Don’t worry, our Southern Phoenix Clan wouldn’t give Qin Wentian to them. Let me accompany you to take a look.”

”Many thanks.” Qin Wentian understood the good intentions in Nanfeng Shengge’s heart. Nanfeng Shengge smiled, the group of them walked together and not long after, they arrived at the banquet area and Qin Wentian even saw a few familiar faces.

”QIN WENTIAN!” Xuan Yang’s reaction was the most intense. He stood up, coldly regarding Qin Wentian. Beside him, the daughter of the Xiao Emperor, Xiao Lengyue, was present as well. Her beautiful eyes were just as cold as Xuan Yang’s and when she discovered Nanfeng Shengge’s presence, she couldn’t help but to curse silently in her heart. Seems like Qin Wentian has been living a very good life, he had never lacked beauties by his side before. Nanfeng Shengge’s beauty and charm wasn’t in anyway inferior compared to Nanfeng Yunxi.

”Everyone rushed here from over a thousand miles, it must have been hard on all of you.” Qin Wentian swept his gaze over to them, there was only indifference in his eyes. Right now, he shifted his gaze onto a young man. This young man was also staring intently at him, radiating an intense coldness.

”So your cultivation base is actually so low.” Qin Wentian spoke to him, as a mocking expression appeared on his face. This young man was none other than the youngest son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, Dongsheng Ting.

Dongsheng Ting’s eyes flickered with coldness, ”You are merely at the first level of immortal foundation. You dare to say that my cultivation base is low?”

”Back then how lofty were you? Within my particle world, standing in an immortal palace in the air, peering down at me with disdain. What cultivation realm was I at back then? Merely a low-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant! But what about now?” Qin Wentian coldly smiled. ”Also, although your cultivation level is still higher than mine, I truly couldn’t care less. I don’t give a fuck about you, son of old dog Eastern Sage.”

”RUMBLE~” As the sound of Qin Wentian’s voice faded, a blast of killing intent gushed forth from Dongsheng Ting as he radiated an intense chill.

Qin Wentian didn’t mind it. He locked gazes with Dongsheng Ting. If there was a possibility, he wanted nothing more than to kill Dongsheng Ting right now at this moment.

Back then in the past, when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor gave the order to wage war in his particle world, Qin Wentian had already vowed to uproot the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect!
